What a difference a year makes. Big wine with lots of fruit. At opening, a bit tight, but a burst of chocolate and an earthy finish. Mellowed out after two hours of decanting into a smooth, mellow wine that went well with green peppercorn tenderloin. One bottle left to try in another year.

Not sure how to rate this one. At opening, tight with lots of cherry and red berry. Very big. Opened up after 2 hours, but still a bit tight. Went extremely well with rib steak and lobster. Wine was good, but not Wow great. Left decanted for next morning. Wine had mellowed out, but much of the fruit taste had dissipated. Hoping that here is still a lot of life in my remaining two bottles and that this wine settles down a bit in the next 2 years.

P&P. Cassis, violets, dark chocolate, very rich and velvety in the mouth. Easily has another 10 years of enjoyment...drink now - 2032.

Plum, dark cherry, licorice. Be sure to allow plenty of time for the wine to open.
